LIFEPAK 20/20e Defibrillator/Monitor Replacement Procedures
Capacitor Discharge Tool
.
Third party biphasic capacitor discharge tools are available. Contact a Technical
Support Representative for more information.
Shown is an example of how the biphasic capacitor discharge tool is constructed
for discharging the A13 Energy Storage Capacitor. The materials used in this
example are:
■ 10 k, 2 W resistor (ten 1 K 2 W), high-voltage
■ 5 M, 5 W resistor, high-voltage
■ Neon lamp, NE76, NE2, or NE2H
■ 8 AWG copper wire
■ Clear plastic tubing, capable of insulating 10 kV
■ 10 kV insulation
■ RTV, silicone rubber sealant
For instructions on discharging the energy storage capacitor, continue to the
next page.
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD. Discharge tools that are not designed and labeled for biphasic
use are inadequate for use on biphasic defibrillators. They will take several minutes
to discharge the energy capacitor.
